Democratic progressive party (DPP) running mate Everton Chimulirenji has condemned the killings of people with albinism describing it as a barbaric act.

Chimulirenji said this during a political rally at Masintha ground in Lilongwe to familiarize himself with the party supporters since his appointment as running mate.

He said these barbaric acts have deeply traumatized people with albinism as they can no longer enjoy their rights to freely move around and also the most precious of all rights, the right to life.

“I would like to ask those with information to come forward and share it with security agencies so that our brothers and sisters with albinism can be protected,” said Chimulirenji.

Chimulirenji also asked people who attended the rally to vote for President Peter Mutharika for development projects to continue.
